Abstract

A transferred arc torch is comprised of a first electrode surrounded by a coil. A second electrode is positioned adjacent to the first electrode so as to provide a small gap therebetween for striking an arc. The second electrode is configured to enable the arc to be transferred therefrom. The transferred arc torch may be used in conjunction with a vessel to provide a unique plasma reactor.
